This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Educators have a responsibility to diversify the representation in the texts that students read in their classrooms. There is a world of diverse texts available that will give a broader viewpoint of the world as well as allow for and celebrate greater representation. The literature I choose features protagonists and characters that are a part of underrepresented groups. There are also non-fiction texts that represent diverse voices and diverse perspectives of history.
These texts invite the work that needs to be done to promote anti-bias and anti-racism (ABAR) in the classroom.
It is not enough to just teach a diverse curriculum - this work should also include opportunities for deep discussions, self-realizations, research, attitude shifting, bias recognition, and identity discovery.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
